Easy set up with secure access
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Very easy to set up. Quick access from all computers on my home network. Owned a 1st Gen LinkStation for about 15 years and it is still working. Only upgraded to this unit for its enhanced security (newer SMBv2) which my older LinkStation did not support.

Good storage solution for local network
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.Great storage solution for anyone with a mesh wire router setup with no USB connection. It plugs directly into a port on your router. Easy to setup. Really like the UI software, and the fact that it works flawlessly on my MacBook and Windows laptop. Also like that I can program it to sleep and wake up at certain times to give it time to cool.

Good drive but slow
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Easy to set as a network drive, I do not need any cloud access so I have not tried that feature. The reason for 3 stars is that the drive is very slow even though it has a Gig network it still takes a long time to move files between computers and the drive.

Great Value
||Posted .What's not to like, plug it in, works fine. Happens to be just what I wanted, save files from anything on my network. No problems, easy to install. Nothing negative found to date. Fast enough for me but I don't back up my entire computer!

Easy access around the home
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.Fairly easy to use. Installed software on several different computers and it works great. We can see everything shared on the drive. I was the software interface was a little more clean, but that in my only issue.

Nice network drive
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Because Microsoft keeps screwing with windows networking I needed a reliable way to share files with other computers on my network at home and this works just fine. I can access anywhere in my home and also remotely as long as I have WiFi. I have it hooked up as a LAN drive so if a device has access to the LAN it can see the drive. Love it and wish I had done this years ago.

Q: QuestionWould this be a good music storage drive to be accessed by a Denon X2700H AVR? Thanks.
Asked by Nick.
- A:Answer Although I haven't own a Denon for decades, the Buffalo Linkstation supports both USB and Ethernet access. I purchsed this drive as a gift for my brother's large collection of photos and videos. I feel, with the judicious use of subdirectories, that this drive would serve well to store a massive amount of audio / video files.
